Appreciations Year Three: Day 298

Luxurious visit with Sarah & Ida. It’s amazing how many changes can happen in just a few weeks. So great to reconnect and go for a little walk in the neighborhood. ❤

White flowers (amazing smelling!) 6-2015Always finding some new delight (like these flowers, which smelled amazing) whenever I go for a walk.

The bustling Kingfield Farmer’s Market – what a change from those first few years (14 years ago!) when it was just a couple of us artisans and a few produce people. What fun to have been there at the beginning and to now enjoy all that it’s become!

The many things so easy to take for granted that make life easier and more comfortable like heat and A/C, running water, lights, appliances, furniture, blankets, computers, desks, doorknobs, coffee grinders…so many things I surely don’t know how to make, but find incredibly helpful! 🙂

All those years I didn’t have to go to a laundromat to do laundry. 😉

Productive and exciting day at work. Learning new things!

The amazing generosity and kindness of people in my life — even people I’m just getting to know. Sometimes it just takes my breath away. How did I get so lucky?? 🙂

Little sparkles of hope flitting around the house these days. How sweet.

Reconnecting with old friends.

Nice little visit with my folks this afternoon.

Meeting Alison and Kathleen for a terrific Monsters show.

The funny sort of conversation of head-tilting I had with the robin on the fence.

Handpainted things, Deep, comforting breaths, fireflies, Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, when bread lands butter side up instead of butter side down, magical solutions you can’t even imagine appearing just when you need them most, laughing, hugs, winks, abalone, swings.

Perfectly perfect weather for my first “I’m not walking to get somewhere, I’m walking just to walk” walk in a long time! What bliss.

The unbelievably yummy sights and scents provided by the gardens in my neighborhood – especially this year since I’ve not had the time and energy to tend to my own. Thanks, neighbors! ❤

The way tiny little details can be so incredibly pleasing, like the little wind-chime-y sound of my earrings in the wind as I walked. Sweet.

My funny, charming, clever, ambitious, talented, enchanting friends who light up my life, make the world a fascinating place, and, uh, make a little time dinging around on facebook completely worthwhile. 😉

Fun rehearsal with musical improv. Oh, Gloria Martin, how I love you! ❤

Taco Tuesday with Alison (plus Tanqueray, because T) complete with rainbow and super-cool-yet-slightly-weird-car sighting (and conversation with its obsessed owner) and just so much fun and love.

Super cool clouds tonight – awesome patterns and shapes.

Apricots. Peanuts in the shell. Honey Soft grass and bare feet. Kitty love.

cards for Tim and SaraSara and Timmy, who help me keep Skynote running smoothly, and who gave me a good reason to take time to do some coloring today. 😉

New ideas, new systems, new ways of doing things and thinking about things.

New tea discovery: Lady Grey. Saw it when I was picking up some Earl Grey the other day. It’s yummy! 🙂

Relief from crazy allergy symptoms – I can see again! 😉

The delicious smell of the peonies Alison brought me the other day. Sweet friend, sweet flowers! 🙂

Overdue and lovely visit with David.

Lightning in the distance lighting up layers of dark clouds. Stunning. Going to sleep before midnight. Probably! 😛

First being serenaded by and then enjoying a wonderful lunch with my sweet and funny and fascinating friend Alison. ❤

The wondrous things people create — so many delicious kinds of art for us to experience.

All the colors of purple. 🙂

Thundery rainy fun day.

My fun job. I get to learn new stuff all the time, teach people stuff, help people reach their goals, and meet the coolest people. More fun client meetings today!
